Just a Wonderful Weekend!

I guess I can post about this weekend. Friday was my birthday and my little sister helped with our kids so Nate and I could go out. Thanks Winni! We went to Olive Garden, (Nate had got me a gift certificate for Christmas that we used.) It was really good! It just was so nice to be without the kids and enjoy the quiet. Then we went shopping, just the two of us. We were going to go the the movies but the theater was crazy busy with people taking their kids to see Monsters vs. Aliens. (We are planning on using the gift cards Cindy gave us for Christmas to take the kids over spring break.) So we just did a little grocery shopping and came home to watch a movie here. It was just a very nice night.

We picked up the kids the next day and came home to clean the house. I went through all their toys and threw away anything that was broken. Their rooms look so much better! Then I did all the laundry. I have to say I am very proud of myself for that. I hate laundry and to get it all done is a big task for me.

Okay, so I feel bad about Sunday because we total could have gone to church but we didn't. We gave the kids breakfast, put in a movie and then Nate and I went back to bed. Until 11 o'clock! We must have really needed our sleep. The kids just stayed in their jammies and we just watch movies all day. We did go over to Dani's for a little birthday party for my friend Lisel, who's birthday is the day before mine, my birthday and Dani's husbands birthday. I had attempted to make a new recipe for a chocolate angel food cake. It didn't really work out. Little did I know that it would raise so much. (Thanks to my wonderful husband who cleaned the oven!) So then I just threw together a chocolate cake from scratch. If you know me, I don't make scratch. I use a box, but no box in the house means I had to make it from scratch. We played a few games at her house with some other people from the ward and had a really nice night.

I feel much better starting this week off with a clean house and a nice weekend off. Things have a much nicer look. Now if we can just get rid of this snow! Where did the spring go with the nice weather?
